Well a big chunk of the guards in this game have both JR and PA punted in order to hold salary down and be salary efficient for LI. Seems like both of those has something to do with that.
Or I could be wrong and it's a totally random event that happens to all such teams.


There's also the problem that outside offenses are just inside offenses with bonuses to outside shooting and penalties to inside shooting. The shot distribution is the same, and if you can't score inside you can't score.

This isn't strictly true, or at least, wasn't ~15 seasons ago when I looked at it. For example, in RnG, 47% of shots come from the guards, vs 36% in LI. On top of that, of those shots, in RnG, >40% of guard shots are from 3 vs only ~22% in LI.

You can certainly argue those splits should be bigger, but they definitely do exist.
